Mood In LIterature

Every piece of writing in literature has its own unique atmosphere. We feel the ambience which they
give us through the power of the words, and the way they come together in novels, essays, poems
and even in short stories. We can define it as mood in literature. It’s the feeling that is evoked in the
reader by the author.

We feel joyful when we read a delightful story and think upon the meanings behind the words more
than ever when they are sarcastic. On the other hand, some novels are so exhilarating that we
wish they never came to an end and kept us excited. In novels, it is possible for the author to mix
a lot of different moods, but one of them is usually overarching and shall be remembered later in
time by the reader. In most poems and short essays, just one or two moods are involved since
the space is limited for authors. You feel miserable as you read a poem beginning with the lines.
“I see the sky above the barren trees,
The gloomy clouds, no rays of the sun,
No more sunshine cause you have gone.”
and remain in that mood for a while. You feel joyful when it reads, “The
sun is shiny” or calm when the poem tells about a picturesque forest.
Literature has a great power to change our moods, and a strong mood
is extremely important for the lasting power of a story.
